About: I understand the importance of finding a reliable , caring and loving person to take care of our fur babies, I have one myself! 😺🐈 I'm dedicating completely to taking care of fur babies during the week and weekends when available for feedings, playtime and walks. Contact me for availability. I will be available for pet care at clients home. I feel and think our pets will be more comfortable in their home environment. 😉
“Heather is wonderful! Maizie cozied up to her immediately, and it's super-clear she and Heather have a tight bond even after just a couple of walks (and belly rubs..). And I get to come home at the end of the day to a very happy and calm pup.”
“My dog Molly loves Ana and she does a great job of keeping you updated about how your pet is doing! Highly recommend for puppy parents like me who are a little nervous to leave. She made me at ease knowing Molly was in good hands!”
“I can't say enough good things about Michelle. She's warm, friendly and has great enthusiasm for what's she's doing. She really hit it off with my dog; they I had a great walk. I would have no hesitation booking her again!”
About: I am a lifelong dog enthusiast, currently with 2 dogs of my own. As far back as childhood, I'd was in charge of the afternoon and evening walks for all of our family dogs. Throughout my adult life I have dog sat and walked dogs for friends and family someitmes even for weeks at a time. I've cared for teeny dogs through Newfoundlands and thoroughly enjoy them all! Experienced with reactive dogs and leash pullers. Comfortable with medications and special diets. Comfortable with puppies through elders! I currently work part time as a telehealth Therapist and I am building my case load so I have lots of flexibility to accommodate pet needs. Since I have two dogs of my own and limited space, I will care for clients' pets in their own homes and keep their routines as consistent as I can. I strongly believe consistency is important for dogs, even when their parents are away. I would be happy to set up a phone, in-person, or video meet-and-greet with any pets and caretakers beforehand to go over any pertinent details.
About: I had a dog since I was in 2nd grade, for around 15 years. I have experience in young puppy care and senior dog care. Just getting into the Rover business, but eager of learn and would love to help! So I’m currently a 3rd Resident Physician at the hospital, so I do have more time on weekends to do sit ins and walks. I miss having a dog and taking care of one so this is my way to give back! I also can do late night sit ins or walks after my shift which usually ends at 630pm. I have an apartment with a doggy park and a pet cleaning and bathing area. The doggy park is fenced with toys and water. I’m great at following instructions and will take great caution and care in others home.
“Marie has been walking our German Shepherd Lizzy for a few weeks now and has been great! Very reliable and has even been able to accommodate last minute walks when our schedules have been crazy! Really appreciate her hard work”
“Jeanne is wonderful. Checks all the obvious boxes – reliable, trustworthy, punctual, etc. But most importantly,IMO, incredibly patient and kind. I don’t need Jeanne’s services terribly often, so there are usually big blocks of time in between her visits with Sadie. She’s always so patient in allowing Sadie to take her time and get reacquainted. Equally sensitive to her comfort as to getting the walk done and the business taken care of. I’m grateful to have found her.”
“Dominique was an amazing dog walker! She was communicative, always answering questions promptly and showing up on time. Chester, our poodle loved her and the walks she provided. I highly recommend Dominique!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, chinchillas, and more since I was 8 years old (including my childhood dog that’s 16 and still kicking!!) I’ve wrapped up my full time job and waiting for grad school to begin in August. Plenty of availability during the weekdays and nights - just ask! I have doors on all the rooms so that pets can roam safely inside my home. Floors are easily cleanable and there is an outdoor space and many parks nearby.
About: I am an experienced pet sitter who has cared after both cats and dogs over the last 8 years. Through either personal favors for loved ones in my life or paid opportunities, I give all animals the time, energy and attention they thrive off of (which sometimes can be a less-is-more situation)! I will strive to make it a stress-free experience for both you and your little one! I do request that we have a Meet & Greet before finalizing bookings to ensure your I can get all relevant information and learn about the pet I'll be looking after. If I seem like a good fit we can get a booking finalized, I will be consistent with messages and updates for you, as well as enrichment and care for the furry friend! For the time being, my schedule is largely open after September 9th. Let me know what your ideal pet sitting situation looks like and I can likely accommodate. I am happy to follow the rules and routines you have set for your pets. I don't have any of my own and would prefer to keep animals at their place of residence for their comfort. If I know an animal and they are comfortable with me, I would reconsider for future sittings after an initial experience.
About: I've had dogs and cats as long as I can remember through my childhood and adult years. They are such a joy to care for, and add so much to our lives as humans. These furry friends are important and deserve the best of care. We enjoy caring for pets - they add so much joy to our lives! There is always something fun going on around here, and the more the merrier! ☺️ I have a small fenced backyard, and two daughters who adore animals. We have a chihuahua-pug and an orange tabby cat, as well as some backyard animals - chickens and rabbits! 😊
“Selja was a huge help when we needed a dog walker at the last minute. She was caring, eSy to communicate with, a natural with our dog (a pitbull/boxer mix) and also checked in on the 2 cats in the home. We set up the meet and greet the day before to go over the details since its a complex household w a special needs adult in the home. She was extremely professional and l would totally use her services again!!”
About: Ive had years of experience between puppies to senior dogs. All deserve the same love. I've had a litter of 8 puppies 11 years ago and it taught me more than any book could. I still have one from that litter to this day. All dogs are different and need to be catered to independently. They all have their own love language. I work part time and its flexible, so I'm looking to fill the gaps with zoomies, pets, treats and love from dogs and other animals. In home, I have a large fenced yard, but prefer a walk so we both get exercise. Clients homes depend on what they have available.
About: I have had pets since I can remember, so I understand that they really are family. I promise to give your pet the same love and care that I have always given my own! I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pet during the workday. I take my dog for a walk in the morning, and then periodic potty breaks throughout the day. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of space to run and play, or maybe just lounge. I also have plenty of toys (and treats) available!
The median cost per walk for dog walking in East Haven is $25
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Haven
We’ve just started working with Carole and she’s fantastic so far! She holds our dog to high expectations, shares robust updates about their walks together, and generously squeezed us in when she already had a full week. We’re grateful to be working with her and look forward to continuing to do so!
Jeanne is wonderful. Checks all the obvious boxes – reliable, trustworthy, punctual, etc. But most importantly,IMO, incredibly patient and kind. I don’t need Jeanne’s services terribly often, so there are usually big blocks of time in between her visits with Sadie. She’s always so patient in allowing Sadie to take her time and get reacquainted. Equally sensitive to her comfort as to getting the walk done and the business taken care of. I’m grateful to have found her.
Layla took excellent care of our little pup and was really flexible and highly responsive when our plans changed. Our dog has a bit of separation anxiety but we notice even after a multi day absence when we come back after Layla’s care she is very relaxed. We highly recommend her.
Aleeki is so kind and reliable! She’s taken care of my dog a few times now and every time she is so communicative. I had some last minute schedule changes last weekend and she really went above and beyond to make sure my girl was well cared for. I appreciate her so much!
Nancy was immediately loved by my pit mix Cheebs. He is very selective about his people but warmed up to Nancy so quickly, which made us knew we can trust her. She’s great with our guy, loves on him like he’s her own. She’s stayed in our home and done a few walks and we know we can count on her. Thank you, Nancy!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your East Haven. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
